arraigo territorial, cooperativas de plataforma, capitalismo de plataforma, economía social, trabajoResumen
Frente a la expansión del capitalismo de plataforma y la creciente precarización del trabajo, surgen formas alternativas de organización, como las cooperativas de plataforma. Este artículo, basado en los casos de las cooperativas de Mensakas, Las Mercedes y 2GoDelivery en la ciudad de Barcelona, explica cómo se han desarrollado estas formas alternativas de organización del trabajo en la economía de plataforma. El artículo también examina los retos que experimentan estas cooperativas de plataforma, así como sus implicaciones. El estudio muestra la centralidad del arraigo de estas tres iniciativas en estructuras y espacios de gobernanza, el movimiento de la ESS, el territorio y el conocimiento de las y los trabajadores.
